The 2017 round of the Sports Capital Programme attracted a record 2,320 applications.In November and December last, Minister Ross and I announced €60m in allocations to a record 1,800 projects under the 2017 round. A review of the 2017 round of the programme has now been finalised and published on my Department's website(www.dttas.ie). This review highlights aspects of the 2017 round of the SCP that worked well but also suggests some further improvements which should be considered prior to the next round of the programme opening for applications. Work has now commenced on designing the terms and conditions of the new round and an announcement in relation to the timing of it is expected in the coming weeks.
